Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU meets Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU has an M.2 slot and, on some configurations, a 2.5-inch bay. Machines that shipped with a hard drive are much faster once moved to an SSD.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU, along with stand repair, no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
Known issues with the IdeaCentre and Yoga All-in-One range
- Lenovo all-in-ones have laptop-style parts behind the panel, and most repairs start with removing the back cover or display.
- A dark screen with the PC still running is usually a panel or backlight fault.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU be upgraded?
The M.2 SSD can be replaced, and some configurations also have a 2.5-inch bay. Memory is in slots on most configurations and can be increased.
My Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
How much does a Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU screen replacement cost?
Price confirmed before work starts. The exact figure depends on the part your machine needs, and we confirm it before any work starts.
Is a 2018 Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24IKU still worth repairing?
It depends on the fault. A battery, SSD or charging socket is usually worth doing. A major board repair on an older machine may cost more than the machine is worth, and if that is the case we will say so.
